The Alabama Crimson Tide are preparing to take on Notre Dame on Friday in the Rose Bowl with a spot in the College Football Playoff title game on the line.

The Tide will have plenty of their top players in action, but fans are still eager to hear about injured DL LaBryan Ray and WR Jaylen Waddle.

After saying neither guy had been practicing earlier this week, coach Nick Saban said on Thursday that neither player’s status had changed:

So, it sounds like neither Ray nor Waddle will be ready to go against the Irish tomorrow. Should the Tide advance to the title game, we expect Saban will be asked about their status more.
